May30.-Capt. McClellan returned
this morning, having traced the meri-
dian of the Tooth degree of west
longitude to where it strikes Red
River. This point he ascertained to
be about 6 miles below the junction
of the two principal branches, and
three fourth of a mile below a small
creek, which puts in from the north
upon the left bank, near where the
river bends from almost due west to
north. AT this point a cotton wood
tree, standing fifty feet from the
water, upon the summit of a sand
hill, is blazed upon four sides, facing
North, South, East and West, and
upon these faces will be found the
Neutrality-suspicious.: Uponthe north
| side sTexas 1908 longitude; upon
the south side "Choctaw Nation 100
longitude; upon the east side ''Me-
ridian of 1909, May 29th 1852;
and upon the west side Capt. Nc
Clellan marked my (Capt. Marcy's)
name, with the date. At the base
of the sand hill will be found four
cotton wood trees, upon N of which
is marked Texas and upon another
will be found inscribed: $50 miles
from Otter Creek.
